Reliefs, Mosaics, & Sculpture

My sculptural art includes mosaics, reliefs
in painted plaster and fabric, mixed media
assemblages, ceramics, and stone sculpture.
I love the mosaic and relief art of ancient
times, but I prefer to create contemporary
non-objective and abstract mosaics and
reliefs. I am drawn to their physicality,
textures, and changing patterns of light as
one moves around. Mosaics come to life
and are most exciting when direct light
reflects off their glossy, irregular surfaces
(but this cannot be seen well online).

paintings and other art in flat media.

Arabesque Series

The next small low-relief wall plaques
are made of plaster, poured into
temporary molds created by pressing
found objects into oil-based modeling
clay. The plaster is then impregnated
with linseed oil, which is absorbed to a
depth of about 1/8 inch, making a very
strong surface. The castings are then
painted with many layers of oil paint,
rubbed, brushed, and rolled onto the
textured surface. The frames are
custom-made. (More information)

Heliotrope

This green soapstone
sculpture was designed
to take advantage of a
narrow stone with a
flat natural surface on
the back. The veins and
inclusions in the stone
give the sculpture an
interesting character.

Face Vase

This pink alabaster
sculpture doubles
as a vase, or even a
candle- or incense-
holder if you wish.
Created after my
most recent trip to
Mexico, the face
reminds me of the
famous Mexican
sacrificial god,
Chac-Mool.

Mask of Persephone

The following mask
relief sculpture began
with a plaster-and-
fabric cast made from
the face of a friend of
mine. The cast was
then painted and
decorated, and fastened
to a metal screen, along
with additional items.

Indian Head Bookends

The mold for these bookends was the clay
model I made for the face of the earlier
sculpture, Heliotrope. I made a plaster cast
from that model and slipcast nine sets of
these bookends. Each set was hand-finished
and glazed differently in several firings.
Each pair is therefore a unique, functional,
ceramic sculpture. I think of these as Mayan
profiles, because they look so much like the
figures in Mayan art, which I love.

The bookends are weighted with lead, sand,
and plaster, and are heavy enough (over
six pounds each) to support even the
largest books. (More information)
